Taking TDS to the next level

Never mind the government shutdown or the national debt; President Trump's ballroom should be everyone's priority! Why? Because Democrats are losing the narrative, and they can't think of anything else.

They fling everything against the political propaganda wall in hopes that something, ANYTHING, will stick. But apparently the average citizen is no longer willing to give leftists and leftism the benefit of a doubt.

Unfortunately it's an uphill battle at an one degree angle because of things like NYC being stupid enough to vote an islamic commie for a mayor.

Leftists do stupidity like a drug addict shoots heroine.

you mean heroin? 😂😂 conservatives don't know what words mean

And then these increasingly insane and pathetic leftist politicians wonder why people are walking away from the Dem Party. Upvoted.

These pathetic leftist politicians have destroyed the once great Democratic Party. Many former Democrats like myself have taken the exit door. Many more are following.

I walked away from the party in 2008 when they started calling anyone unwilling to vote for a first term U.S. senator for the presidency with zero meaningful national level experience and no leadership or management history RACIST. I finally realized that unthinking ideologues were taking over the Party and that it was too late to stop them. It was a poison that was inevitably going to destroy the host.

My change was when I was twenty or so and asked a (D) candidate about abortion. I was pro-life but didn't know how the parties felt. Anyway instead of a simple answer I got BS thrown at me. After that I switched to (R) and never looked back.

Fixed it

Leftoid employees at Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, etc ... are in cognitive dissonance right now.

People might try to Run on that platform (despite it being extremely wasteful)...

but even Money, that IF the project is complete and move-in ready on inauguration day ** They would not only leave it standing but they would likely Hold the Inauguration IN the Ballroom to make it "theirs:"

** (I work in construction, few projects regardless of scale, ever come in on time and under budget)

Hey Swallow-all,
Don't even think about selling out America unless you have your own Chinese spy in bed with you. Oh wait. You already did that.... Douchebag

Thanks for sharing. I've been saying this for a few weeks and now I have a politician to support in that endeavor. I wouldn't have known who to support for taking down the ballroom without YOUR help. Appreciated.

Just went to go follow him and support his campaign. Thanks again for the tip on who to follow. Truly a saint to post this meme.

You are choosing the wrong side of history. Leftists are losing the culture war. Eventually, the Democratic Party will be forced to purge Marxists because they are making elections unwinnable. Where will Leftists go then? The midterms will tell the tale.

I promise you being against fascism and fascist ideals is not the wrong side of history. If you think it is, then you need to read more history, if you can read that is.

Leftists are against free speech, democracy, capitalism, and any kind of spiritual or cultural expression. Leftists' definition of fascism is anybody who doesn't completely agree with them. No one self-identifies as a fascist anymore. Fascism was a time and place in history that no longer exists. There are no fascists.

Fascism is the very idea that there is only one group of people who are the problem rather than realizing that societal problems belong to society on the whole. When people begin to isolate one group of people as "the problem" they are in the root stages of fascism. In fact, if leftists truly did want only people who agree with them - that itself WOULD also be fascist. So, to be clear, there IS fascism on both sides. There ARE some leftists who say, "it's all these people over here that are the problem and we need to get rid of them." That is a fascist sentiment because the problem isn't the people - it's the ideology that seeks to suppress opposition and consolidate leadership to a nationalist person or small group.

As a note though:

Free speech without any guardrails is a mistake. We should not be able to spread damaging information that harms society.

Democracy is always good

Capitalism is garbage but at the very least, basic human needs should not be capitalized and doing so should be a crime. After human need is handled, fine, I guess do capitalism if wasting your life chasing after STUFF is what you want to do with your life. I think that's a huge waste but at the very least capitalism should not be allowed to kill people by capitalizing things needed for human life to continue.

Spiritual and cultural expression is perfectly fine. Telling other people they are shit and going to hell for their spiritual beliefs is not. I was raised in an evangelical christian cult type home. I have NO problems with them believing what they want. I do think they need to learn to not push their beliefs on society against the consent of society.

Fascism does exist, but you're right. Nobody self-identifies that way because it doesn't sell well and you can't GET to that point without some level of public support first.

So basically, someone is a fascist if you say they are, capitalism and free speech are bad, spiritual expression is OK as long as it doesn't challenge anyone. Jon, I do not want to live in your world. I would be shot or sent to the gulag.

No. Someone is a fascist if they want to consolidate power and force their ideology on others with that power. That's the definition. It's not contingent upon my agreement.

Capitalism is bad in MY opinion - that doesn't mean it should be abolished entirely. I think probably that's the "right" answer but I also don't think humanity is ready for that at all - so in the mean time we should at least agree that people exploiting labor should not result in people dying. I feel like that's an extremely low bar. Capitalizing after that I guess is fine if you all really wanna go for it but I don't think someone should be able to, say, own all of the food and then price some people into starvation. That, to me, feels insane. Humans first - money after.

As for free speech, you should ABSOLUTELY be free to have thoughts. Nobody wants to control those. You should also have free expression. However, there ARE some areas where this should not apply, such as with threats or intentionally maligning the truth in order to control other people against their own will. That should not come without punishment because you are using YOUR freedom to infringe the freedom of others. My main thought on this is simple: If you use your autonomy to infringe on the autonomy of others in any way then you have willingly agreed to sacrifice your own autonomy. Deciding that your free speech gets to strip other people of their rights means you've decided free speech gets to deprive rights. If you've decided this then the same rule gets applied in return to you. If you don't like that, guess what? You're a hypocrite and I don't want to live in a world where hypocrites run everything because that happens to be also a key indicator that you're in a dictatorship. I don't like dictatorship.

Spiritual expression is fine even when it DOES challenge others. It's NOT fine when it violates that basic principle. If your spiritual freedom is infringing on the freedom of others, they also have the right to use their freedoms to infringe yours. If you don't want that - don't infringe their rights and keep it to the spaces that we designate for people to come into agreement on that. There are public stores and such that do this. Hobby Lobby is one of them. If I go into a Hobby Lobby, I know they are going to play christian music and that they stand firmly in that corner but it's also their personal business that they opened to the public. That's THEIR space. See how that works?

You say freedom is good, but with limitations. You confirmed everything I said. Leftists are against free speech, democracy, capitalism, and any kind of spiritual or cultural expression.

If you think freedom and having no limits are the same thing then you don't understand freedom.

You have a different definition of "freedom" than the US Constitution.

I do not. Even the founding fathers and the constitution place limits on some types of freedom. The idea that the second amendment has guidelines like "Well regulated" itself are evidence of that. If you can read, go back and read that constitution again because you definitely missed quite a few parts.

Freedom goes beyond the US Constitution. You either love freedom or you are afraid of it. Of course, there are limits. Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. The basics.

What a waste of time typing. Just say you don't know what freedom is and leave it at that.

Jon, you hate people who can't be controlled. You hate people who don't think like you. That is why you love socialism, because socialism is about control.

"you hate people who can't be controlled. You hate people who don't think like you. That is why you love socialism, because socialism is about control."

Craig, you love touching people without consent and think children should be allowed to have children.

See? I can make absolutely baseless claims of you too.
